The Masquerade Ball ~ Accepting ~ New ~ Semi-Lit

[~Harniet~]

Cassidy Rae McCormick - 17 years - Female - Commoner - Marketplace

Though she knew what his response would be, Cassidy still felt her heart drop a small bit as he replied that yes, he indeed was, as was everybody else. Her feet walked without command, just going on instinct as her mind reeled. It wasn't that she wasn't allowed to go, of course she was, even as a commoner. That was the great part about the ball, that no matter who you were, a queen or a commoner, you could go beneath a mask and pretend you were all the same for a change. The only problem was that her parents needed her help; how could she just leave them for a week or 2 to escape into her own little paradise and leave them behind? And besides, sure, she bought a dress and a mask - what girl hadn't? - but it was nothing in comparison to anything everyone else was wearing, and she'd probably stick out like a sore thumb.

The smell of the fresh baked goods pulled Cassidy back into reality, and she stopped right out front of the bakery. "Well, here you are," she said half-heartedly, looking up at the large, hand-painted sign that hung above the entrance. Mr. Reynolds glanced their way, and she put on a smile and gave a small wave, which he returned before turning to his current customer. "I hope you enjoy," Cassidy said to the man she had guided. "It was a pleasure to meet you."

Tera~ 20~ Foreign Lady~ Single~ at the stable, speaking to Kross

This statement offended me slightly. "Of course I like horses." I said as I put away my tack. I got a couple brushes and started grooming while Cecidit eyed the stranger. Like I said before, I know all the eligible bachelors who attend the ball. They jusy don't necessarily know me. "Who taught you dressage?" I asked him.

Kross Solaris
"Kross"
Prince of Taro
18, Male, single
Talking to lady Tera.

Kross grabbed a brush as well and also groomed down Chance, "Oh, my father taught me all the dressage I know. He's very good with horses, even though Taro isn't very hospitable for livestock, since we live in the cold bitter mountains. But in the valleys it's actually quite nice." He continued grooming Chance, who stood patiently, chewing contentedly on the hay nearby. "Who taught you how to ride?" He asked politely as he began brushing Chance's mane.

"I had a friend who rode. He taught me everything. I've been a fox hunter for years now. I don't like dressage." I spoke and steadily brushed Cecidit. He nickered at Kross's horse.

{ Is it alright if I join with a Lady of Rhomma? }

He would very much like to go on a ride with the two beautiful young women. Rising from his bow, the lord looked at the royal couple carefully. "I apologise for my tardiness, Your Graces. My carriage ran into trouble on the road and I had to ride," Charles felt the urge to tell them why he was so late. Most of the guests had already arrived for at least a week of festivities. "And so I beg your forgiveness. It is very kind of you to invite me." He wondered if they remembered him; surely his surname would jolt a memory? But they wouldn't speak of it, would they? Or maybe they would. His name had strong standing although he was never present at court. And he was hoping that he could charm Princess Ravyn. It would be a better political move for their only daughter to marry a prince of another kingdom, but he was just as wealthy.

(Okay can I join in with someone?)
